Ulysses Systems participates in two European collaborative R&D projects that have contributed to the development of Task Assistant:

TREVI Esprit EP23311
The goal of the TREVI (Text Retrieval and Enrichment for Vital Information) project is to offer a solution to the problem of "informational overflow". Reuters provide the main application case study, and Lyras Shipping provides the shipping application. Ulysses Systems participates in the project as a subcontractor of Lyras Shipping.

The results from both projects will be used to enhance future product releases.
